Ancient Egypt Workshop for Primary Schools: Amina's Journey (Year 3 to Year 6)
Amina’s Journey is an Ancient Egypt workshop for primary schools, delivered in your hall by Giant Journeys across the UK and Ireland. Pupils from Year 3 to Year 6 question Amina, an AI girl from Ancient Egypt, and search a tomb for the letters of her lost name. Sessions run 45 minutes, one class at a time, up to six classes a day.
Step back thousands of years and meet Amina, a 12-year-old girl living in Ancient Egypt.
In this unique and immersive Ancient Egypt workshop, pupils enter an Egyptian tomb filled with objects, clues and stories from the past. Through digital exploration, team challenges and live interaction with our AI character Amina, children discover what life was like beside the River Nile.
But Amina needs their help.
Her true Egyptian name was taken from her long ago. To uncover it, pupils must investigate the tomb, complete a series of challenges and collect the letters that reveal her forgotten identity.
And the most exciting part?
Your pupils can speak directly with Amina, ask their own questions about Ancient Egypt and gather clues to help solve the quest.
It is Ancient Egyptian history brought to life in a way children will never forget.

What Will Your Students Do?
Meet Amina
Begin the adventure by meeting Amina, a 12-year-old girl from Ancient Egypt who has lost something more precious than gold: her true name.

Use Xbox controllers to investigate Egypt. Find objects including a sarcophagus, canopic jars, hieroglyphics, statues and golden masks.

Complete Quest
Work in teams to solve challenges, collect hidden letters and rearrange them to reveal Amina’s true Egyptian name.
Amina’s Journey combines historical learning with storytelling, technology and problem-solving.
Rather than simply hearing about Ancient Egypt, pupils explore it for themselves. They examine objects, discuss evidence, ask questions and work collaboratively to solve a meaningful mystery.
The workshop supports learning about:
• Everyday life in Ancient Egypt
• The River Nile
• Pharaohs and Egyptian society
• Mummification and beliefs about the afterlife
• Hieroglyphics and writing
• Egyptian objects and artefacts
